About this product

Product Information

Add an all-rounder to your audio setup with the AKG C1000 S condenser wireless professional microphone. This versatile and compact microphone includes a number of features that allow it to adapt to different recording requirements quickly. Like all condenser mics, the C1000 S needs phantom power to operate. However, if phantom power is not available, pop in two AA batteries, and they will power the unit for up to 120 hours, allowing direct connections to mixers and recording equipment. While a number of microphones incorporate presence boost, this one has three different frequency settings. Choose to boost vocal clarity, cut out rumble and wind noises, or increase the microphone level to record loud sound sources without distortion. Lastly, the C1000 S includes a polar pattern converter. Slip it on the capsule to change the pickup pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid for even more unidirectional focus, which is ideal when using monitors on stage.

Excellent sound--everything I hoped for...
Excellent microphone! It appears there are no significant differences between this mic and later iterations of the same model (later models change battery type from 9v to 2-AAs, provide an LED, etc). I am using this mic in recording interviews for radio/web storytelling production. Voices sound great on this mic! I was also delighted to discover excellent side and rear noise reduction (for the standard cardioid configuration). Working the mic close to the interview subject (about 3 inches at about a 45 degree off-axis angle) the sound was magnificent and there was virtually no noise from the room filled with air conditioner and other motor noises (hospital room)! It also has a nice, solid, feel and I suspect that as many reviews state, it is a very durable "workhorse".

Greeat Value Condenser Microphone
The AKG C1000S is a great value for a condenser microphone, whether using it for recording or live sound reinforcement, the mic has a nice, flat response between 20 Hz to 20kHz. Since it has the ability to handle high SPL's, it is perfect for drum overheads or mic'ing a hi hat. Although it comes as a standard cardioid mic, it also can be converted into a super-cardioid pick-up pattern by adding an accessory around the capsule as well. It is a condenser microphone, so it will require either a power supply or a +48 VDC phantom power from your pre-amp/console. I love the versatility of this microphone, it is really an all-purpose condenser mic, and I bought this so my band would have more options while doing live sound and also so we could have it for a recording situation.

Underated versatile mic
It's a small diaphragm. So don't expect it to compete with the best large diaphragm mics in your locker. It has excellent noise rejection for a condenser and interesting sounding highs. Kinda silky when you're lucky. It's often used for recording live sound. Very robust. I like also it in the home studio for hi hats. Recently, voice over artist liked it off axis for not recording pops and clicks. Goes for around $100 used on ebay usually. Only downside, many normal mic clips can't hold it. Mic is a bit beefier.

AKG C1000S Med Diaphragm Condenser Mic
The AKG C1000S is a great value for money medium sized diaphragm microphone. Included in the original package is a PPC 1000 which allows the microphone to be switched from cardioid to hypercardioid pickup pattern. Also a presence boost adapter (PB 1000) is included for high-end enhancement. These are little plastic clips that easily attach to the end of the microphone internally. While their performance on Cymbals isn't up with the 451's or SM81's neither is their price. They make for a very good diverse drum mic, I like the tone of them used as overheads because of the punch they give on the toms. Also the versatility of the microphone is another great feature, I used a set for our lead male and female vocalists recently during a live performance with the pop filter attached and I assure you they are in a far better league than the ever so popular SM58. Being condenser mic's my concern was the sensitivity of the mic might cause easy feed back issues, especially as my Male singer doesn't sing loud and requires a large amount of gain. But to my surprise they were far better than the SM58's here too. However there performance as a vocal mic in the recording studio would come down to application preference as I find they appear to have a high presence on the higher frequency's and really don't give a fat lower end. To summarise I would say yup get a few of them for your studio as they are capable of doing a lot of different jobs. I haven't tried them in every application myself because I try to use a mic known for it's application. If you have a big budget you will find there is a well lets say more expensive microphone for any application, but in the mean time the C1000S will do a very adequate performance on just about all your instruments.

AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone
I bought one of these mics for a limited type of field recording & capturing ideas for later work using a Marantz PMD661 recorder. The mic was very clean. The extras that come in the case with the AKG C 1000s open up a new world of diversity in the usage of the microphone during different types of recordings. It is built very well and nicely weighted. The mic is a good purchase.
